Government Control of Web - New U.K. Law Targets Excess Access
New U.K. Law Targets Excess Access
 Published: Feb 12, 08
 Views: 1,451

Trendhunters kid around alot with posts, but this law under discussion by the U.K. will have a domino effect that will lead to no good. ISP’s will be responsible for taking action against people who download films and music illegally by cutting them off entirely. There is a three strike provision, but this is a slippery slope that should not see the light of day.

Ministers will make an explicit commitment to legislate with the launch next week of a Green Paper on the creative industries. A draft copy, obtained by The Times, states: “We will move to legislate to require internet service providers to take action on illegal file-sharing.” A consultation paper setting out the options is promised within months. A spokesman for the Internet Service Providers Association said it remained hopeful that agreement over a voluntary agreement could be reached: “Every right-thinking body knows that self-regulation is much the better option in these areas.” (technology.timesonline)
